Samuel L Jackson Talks "Jumper"

Samuel L Jackson told SCI FI Wire that he's almost finished filming his part in Toronto in "Jumper," a movie about teleportation that re-teams him with his "Star Wars" co-star Hayden Christensen. The film is based on a novel by Steven Gould and is adapted by David S. Goyer (Batman Begins). It is directed by Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith).

"It's a film about kids who can teleport," said Jackson. "I play a government agent that's sort of chasing them and killing them and kind of hates kids that can do that because they leave these interesting rips in the atmosphere when they do it."

"That's still kind of going on, so I'm back and forth still shooting stuff for that," Jackson added.

He said he likes the sci-fi genre, but he's not wedded to those kinds of movies. "I'm actually in something where people teleport, and it's kind of like, 'Great. OK,'" he said. "And I get to chase them. Yeah, OK. I can't do it, but I can chase them. And then when I catch them I get to beat them up and kill them. Kind of cool."
